Causes of myocardial infarction

Myocardial infarction is the abbreviation of myocardial infarction or myocardial infarction. It is a cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease caused by coronary artery occlusion. This disease is relatively common in life, and the elderly are a high-risk group. Patients often experience symptoms such as cardiac chest pain, chest pain with chest tightness, and palpitations. In severe cases, it may also cause complications such as mitral valve insufficiency, arrhythmia, and sudden death. Therefore, knowing more about the causes of myocardial infarction is very helpful for preventing the disease.

The disease of myocardial infarction brings great psychological burden and pain to patients. Most patients will seek medical treatment. Let me tell you about the causes of myocardial infarction. Patients can learn relevant knowledge to prevent the aggravation of the disease.

Common triggers are as follows:

1. Excessive physical labor, especially climbing stairs with heavy loads, excessive physical activities, continuous stress and fatigue, etc., can increase the burden on the heart and suddenly increase the myocardial oxygen demand. The coronary arteries of patients with coronary heart disease have become hardened and narrowed and cannot fully expand, causing myocardial ischemia. Severe physical stress can also induce plaque rupture and lead to acute myocardial infarction.

2. Many cases of myocardial infarction occur after overeating. After eating a large amount of high-fat, high-calorie food, blood lipid concentration suddenly increases, leading to increased blood viscosity and increased platelet aggregation. Thrombosis forms on the basis of coronary artery stenosis, causing acute myocardial infarction.

3. Constipation is very common among the elderly. Clinically, it is not uncommon for elderly people to suffer myocardial infarction due to holding their breath due to constipation. The elderly must pay enough attention to this and keep their bowel movements smooth.

Therefore, knowing these things may effectively prevent the occurrence of myocardial infarction, so that there is no need to seek medical treatment and you can suffer less pain. In addition, by learning this knowledge, patients can pay attention to their lifestyle and effectively treat the disease.
